    Thanks to Water Pokemon Master from www.pokebeach.com for the scan.
     
    I really like this steelix card. it saved my butt in the prerelease several times. If you are a good flipper, slam works awesomly for only one energy. The 4 energy for 100 isn't tooooo bad. but it stinks that it can't attack again next turn after 100.
    i like him.. and i don't usually like steel... or rock for that matter either.
    For a hard-hitting high HP Non-ex?
    6.5/10!
     
    I really like the move Metal Slash its really strong, but it sucks that it has to recharge

    Steelix has a moderate amount of HP, and if you're decent with flipping, Slam can work wonders. Metal Slash is a bit alright (but not much), since you're dealing high damage for losing an attack unless you use Switch or something since it's retreat cost is a bit high, but works for this type of pokemon.

    A card such as the D/P Steelix will definetely strengthen decks with steel as a sub-type. A 7/10 seems reasonable. The main problem here is the Metal Slash. A high retreat cost and 100 damage for losing an attack next turn just doesn't seem to work if your opponent has powerful monsters on the bench.
